Your 1610 printer is listed twice in /etc/cups/printers.conf with different UUID’s each time.
In my configuration file the Brother printer is only listed once:
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v2.1.3
# Written by cupsd
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING
<DefaultPrinter DCP7065DN>
UUID urn:uuidzf3a944e2-df3b-3462-73f0-bf2d45b99cdf

I would delete your second printer starting from <Printer DCP1610W> down to the last line of the file </Printer>.
Before editing /etc/cups/printers.conf you need to stop cupsd service with:
sudo systemctl stop cups
Then do your edit. After saving your configuration file restart cupsd service with:
sudo systemctl start cups
One caveat I’m running Ubuntu 16.04 not Xubuntu 16.04.
